Oh well. That means in fact you get just a few sweets on the 6th and
big presents at 24th. Yep. We celebrate it a day sooner then you. :)
But think of it. First the candycanes to play with before the real
present arives. ;) After all, we can be lucky to have 2 presents in
the same month, instead one. hehehe.
I'm from Germany too.
>Tach auch! Hoffendlich gibts weisse Weihnachten!< (>Hi! I hope we will have
a white Xmas!<)
I don't know, if the Members from the USA know the Christkindl.
Info: The Cristkindl or Christkind (Christmaschild or Christchild is the,
rough translated, english Name, I think) looks like an holy female Angel, but I
don't know it's History.
